3. FEATURES
Seating Features
The seat assembly swivels in one direction only for transfer in/out of the seat.
For your safety, do not swivel the seat until the unit has stopped. Once the
unit has come to a complete stop, lift up and hold the swivel handle to swivel
the seat. Release the handle to lock the seat in place.
When the stairlift is not in use, the seat, armrests, and footrest can be folded up
to allow for more space on the stairway.
Safety Features
Seat Belt
Always use the retractable seat belt to ensure that you are safely secured in the
chair during travel.
Footrest and Carriage Sensors
There are safety edge sensors on the sides of the footrest and the carriage, and
an underpan sensor on the bottom of the footrest. These sensors will stop the
stairlift if an obstruction is encountered on the stairway.
If you encounter an obstruction, press the opposite side of the toggle switch to
run the stairlift in the opposite direction. Remove the obstacle from the
pathway and proceed in the original direction of travel.
Safety Switches
There are upper and lower safety limit switches to stop the stairlift when it
reaches the top or bottom of the stairway. There are also mechanical stops at
the top of the rail (front and back) to stop the lift from running off the rail.
There is a safety switch for the swivel seat that will prevent the stairlift from
running if the seat is not locked in the riding position.
Emergency Stop Button (Optional)
There may be an optional emergency stop button located on the left arm.
Pressing this button will stop the unit immediately.
Overspeed Brake
There is an overspeed brake that will engage and stop the lift if the normal
downward travel speed is exceeded.

K2 Plus Stairlift Owner’s Manual Part No. 001188, 08-m05-2020
Key Switch and Power Switch
The stairlift is equipped with a key switch on the bottom of the same arm as the
toggle switch. The unit cannot be operated unless the key is inserted and
turned a quarter turn clockwise to the ON position. Once the key switch is
turned on, flip the ON/OFF main power switch (on the top of the carriage) to
the ON position.
Do NOT turn off the power switch after each trip. Turning off the
power switch stops the batteries from charging and this action
will eventually drain the batteries.
